Very disappointed in both hats. They definitely butchered Nian's wonderful design.....straight into the garbage bin

I was really hoping the Ice crown was going to be a lot more brighter
bluish glow to it not some dirty dusty lump of coal Ice thingy
Oh well I won't be wearing this in public it can stay with the hat maker. lol
I do feel sorry for Nian

I hate to sound ungrateful, especially during this time of year but these hats are pretty sad. I guess my expectations were too high considering that we got so many good hats last year.
Oh well... bring on the leaf clovers and the chocolate bunnies!
Happy New Year to all!

The hats are special alright. Short bus special.

Maybe they should dump the gifts into people's inventories. It's less magical, but it'd also cause less problems. My computer eats GW for breakfast but I was still dragging when I tried to walk by the 9 rings. :P

the damn wig looks horrible, and the wreath is stupid, why did they not stick to the original winning designs???

wow they phoned it in this year

i personally LOVE the hat
and just like Anet said, it will NOT look like her artwork ingame
its just to bad we can still not have armor on these hats
imo all festivalhats should be craftable with max armor
lets say u show it to festivalhat NPC, and once u reach lvl20 u can craft a max armor that takes runes/insignias , for a reasonable price+mats
that would take away the "oh no low level char gets free max armor"
as for the dwayna hat, yet another dustcollector XD

I had my suspicions about my male mez's sexuality...with the ring 'o' flowers 'round his head, they are not suspicions anymore.

havnt played gw since i went back to school but coming back to this day for hats is just really sad. i agree the ice crown was done nothing short of lazy.
and what is the deal with the wreath birthday cake??? are we trying to burn our heads off while we run around? seriously... i swear anet wants kids to think about wearing candles on their head with a wreath like jesus or something. lol.. wow
i was hoping to at least see the red hat concept (6th place winner) or maybe at least the snow globe??? lol damn i mean come on. you had these awesome ideas u made them the winners and you just pulled one out the ass with too much eggnog in your system and just plain failed on the ice crown...
for shame back to not playing gw for awhile.... play some more mario galaxy i guess

The hats are both very terrible. Freezie Crown from last year was much, much better.
Also, the gods did not even show up at all in many of the Kamadan districts. Apparently due to a bug. Many players who were there at the scheduled time didn't even get their hats since the gods didn't show up in every zone.

I like the wreath; it looks cute on my female ele and will probably look good on my monk and ranger too. But I can understand why others might not be impressed. It just doesn't suit male warriors or necros... or any males really. Except maybe paragons.
The ice crown though... ewwww.

WoW, Anet those are ugly as a donkey's @$*@ inverted with a bull @#$* in it's mouth.
The concept art on all of the hats was better then that! It just looks like they took pre-ascalon Gwen's flower brace and inflated it and retextured.

Well I like both the hats Anet. I guess it's sad day when I am not surprised at such negativity towards a gift, kindly meant (need I add free of charge?) from Anet.

Once again Anet fail on all levels.
They must have rung the cleaner up to do the hats last night right after one of the designers remembered what day it was.

Been standing in Lions Arch (eur, eng dist 12) for over an hour now and still no gods...
Shall we all leave or is the event seriously delayed?
(Dont think the gods have shoved up in district with higher numbers either).

Nians design was soooo simple it pains me to look at that god awful wreath and think about how much time they put into doing that one up.

*Note: The hat that appears in the game is based upon a player concept, but will not look precisely like the submitted idea.
versus I would not have recognized it without knowing that this should be the Grenth Hat of the contest. ICE ISN'T DIRTY GREY. The great thing about the original concept was that it was glowing. I thought they are the industries leading artists, cough.
P.S.: The Dwayna hat shows some more effort, it is not animated, but looks alright. Going to get it later.

Ice Crown is NOTHING like the contest winner's depiction of it...
I'm a bit saddened. I thought it would look awesome, but o well...

While I feel somewhat ill over the designs (Nian, you have my sympathy), I find it nice that Anet at least did something. The hats are beyond poor, but they didn't have to made, nor did the event have to happen.
I'm surprised the even went ahead, what with all the whining. Makes me wonder if there'll be anymore events.
On a side note: What's with all this talk of 'QQ'? Is it some form of short-hand for whining?

i spent 59 mins in dist 13 as lady of perceptions and no event happened.
Apparently u need to be in a district that was created AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE the even starts, i have no idea why and it sucks.
Im in dist 1 right now but im willing to bet 100k that im gonna get a 007 error and the server will be full...

The thing I don't understand is that if they knew they wouldn't be able to match it (even the slightest bit..) then they should NOT have picked that as the winner and get the winner's hopes up so much.

I don't really mind. I missed the 'only 2' message so that's my fault. They used the jade sea texture on the ice crown it looks like, leaving it look kind of dirty - the dark jade sea areas not the light ones.
I'm glad I'm getting two more holiday hats anyhow.. I did like that grench looking red hat that won as well..

the ice crown would/might have been win if they would have gave us that nice dye-able 'chaos glow' LoL, what we got looks like it was made from a snow pile sitting on the street a few days after the storm.
as far as flowers with flame on my head...LoL Nice one! HaHa yea...

I think the ice crown couldn't be shiny simply because having hundreds of them at the same time on the screen would melt down graphics cards and servers everywhere.
gone
lol that happened anyway
/re-roll
I saw people spawning where the presents WEREN'T supposed to drop(last year)
got some nice pix of it lol.

Would I be the first person to say that i actually like these hats?
I dont know why..but they just appeal to me more than stupid santa hats and jester hats, while the crown doesnt look exactly like the design, i still think they did a good job with it

sigh 
thought they could do a better job, but I guess with the whole team working on gw2 we cant expect anything good from now on for gw1.
(and condolences to nian for the way they rendered her design....but if you let others play with your work, your hands are tied).

Now confirmed on wiki:
"The Wintersday Grand Finale didn't run in some districts."
They have changed the status from "Active or pending event" to "Event over".
Lots of people in many districts have waited over an hour for nothing...

Personally I like the Dwayna hat, a modified Saint Lucia crown...the ice hat is not my cup of tea but monstrous lag overshadowed that for me.
